Possibly ask Noel very very nicely if you can have one of the "team only" endorphin slopestyles used for all the jump/park stuff.

Nukeproof Mega?

Ive ordered one up to do pretty much everything your looking at doing for when my little AMR isnt upto the job. Just cant justify having a full dh bike this year but having ridden our proto one this will more than suffice ๐Ÿ˜€

drop me an email if it floats your boat: luke@hotlines-uk.com

STW boys here had a look at one a few weeks ago:

Pagey has been thrashing the crap out of one of the proto's for months now and its been faultless.

I'd defo have a look at the Chilcotin. I've had an Endo, built up with lyriks, 1x9 etc for a while and it's been awesome.

Seems like people were building endos burly or trying to get an xc whippet out of them. Knolly have put 2 bikes either side of the endo now - endo sl and Chilcotin. A light build delirium may work for you too Jedi. The 4x4 linkage climbs really well. A 170mm lyrik would be sweet on that!

Foes FXR is a good choice, i have got a 06 FXR with ti spring curnutt and love it, not the cheapest option in the world but rides amazingly, mine gets used for everything from days on the DH track, the odd uplift day, XC rides, I even rode the Clic 24hr this year on it albeit in a team.

Bit of a thread revival but I've got a project nemesis double agent frame if you are still looking? Only 10 built exclusively for the project nemesis slopestyle team? Sounds pretty much like what you are looking for...

No, but in good condition as I very rarely use it due to being at uni/having a DH bike. I can fire over some photos if you are interested?

Yes. 44mm internal diameter headtube.

(Nukeproof do a variety of headsets which will allow you to fit any fork... 1.5", 1.125" or tapered)

i just picked up my new Cove G Spot on saturday, took it to the local woods on Sunday and then to Hamsterley downhill on Sunday, it was ace, set it up with a pair of U turn Lyrics and mainly SLX group-set weighed in at 33lbs fully built.

The bike is amazing, i didn't want an out and out downhill bike as i like riding up as well as down and it didn't disapoint at all, amazing over the rock gardens and handled all the drops i threw at it, running it with the air rear shock at the moment i've read on a few forums that they aren't the best and a bit difficult to set up but didn't have any problems at all. Wound down the forks and peddled back up to the top.

First impressions are very encouraging, really think could ride the bike all day or take it down any downhill course without any problems at all

Cheers

Nick
